Day 1!

Here I am - trying to start a new blog. I haven't touched LiveJournal since a few months after Katrina. I decided to leave that behind with all those bad storm memories. I'm sure if you google it, you can still find it floating around in cyberspace.

Anyway, the title of my blog - Professional Aspirer - seems to sum up what I tend to spend my time doing. While I do aspire to much in life, I am actively working to make my dreams a reality. It's coming along slowly, but I know my small steps will eventually lead to great things. There are so many big, big things that have happened and will happen soon in my life right now. Trying to sweep out the twigs to find the path to MY destiny is challenging. I have to sort out the important from the not-so-important, and I have to really focus on what my priorities are. All the while, I am watching those closest to me move away, grow up, & change so rapidly that I still haven't comprehended these moves as permanent.

Despite these vague bits of knowledge that seem to weigh on me to the point of exhaustion somtimes, I have so much in my life to be happy for. I am thrilled about the opportunites that lie ahead of me --> namely, nursing. I'm not in nursing school just yet, but I have a BA in English Lit, and I am taking a few Biology pre-reqs that will enable me to enroll in a fast-track nursing BA program. I am so excited about diving in! I will be starting some volunteer work in the Cardiology department at EJGH soon. I know I've made the right decision with this career move. I hope that I still feel the same way in 10 years. I think I will... nursing opens up so many doors to different types of nursing fields (ie, office work, education, marketing, emergency room, doctor's clinics, travelling, etc).

I'll sign off for now to decorate my blog a bit. Bye!
